Small Projects Istanbul is a community-based organization that strives to provide a safe space and a community in Istanbul, Turkey to over 300 displaced families due to conflicts in Syria, Middle East, and the North Africa Region.
They run a five-story establishment with multiple community service facilities that aim to provide psychosocial support, education, protection, and programs that enable refugees to develop adequate income-generating and practical skills. Through the said programs, community members are going to be equipped to start a new life in Turkey; a place they can now call home.
